Application Deadline is February 19, 2016 Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia) No updates as of 12/1/15 The Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Emory (SURE) allows undergraduate students to conduct supervised research with a faculty mentor. Students receive training in the research methods applicable to their research plan, analyze their data and create written and oral presentations of their results. At the end of the summer, participants share their research via our poster symposium. Panels of faculty and graduate students help explore mentoring issues, and make recommendations on how to choose a graduate program and how to balance work and family responsibilities. Speakers address their own involvement in science careers and the requirements for success in their fields. Weekly ethics discussions allow students to explore the ethical aspects of research careers. Awards for popular science essays [optional submission] and scientific posters are made at the end of the program. Students receive a $3,500 stipend, housing is provided, and travel funds may be available.

Janelia Farm Research Campus (Ashburn, VA) (HHMI) Janelia Undergraduate Scholars-Janelia Undergraduate Scholars are among the very best future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who are interested in exploring basic neuroscience, imaging technology, and related fields of research at Janelia. Since its inception in 2007, 90 students have participated in the summer program and 9 of them have gone on to join the Janelia Graduate Program. Previous scholars have worked on a range of projects in Janelia labs, including helping to identify the neurons that control feeding behavior in fruit flies, designing better labeling molecules for use with sophisticated microscopy, recording from salamander retinal ganglion cells to learn about the motion tracking system, and developing computer programs for automated image analysis. Our summer scholars have an opportunity to attend weekly seminars by Janelia researchers and visiting scientists. Each student will have an opportunity to present his or her work at two symposia open to the Janelia community and will also participate in a weekly journal club. When not in the laboratory, summer scholars, who live on campus, enjoy a variety of social activities, including barbeques, a 4th of July outing to the Washington DC fireworks display, and other local events. Students plan their own social adventures, which in the past have included camping in nearby mountains, a night at the Washington Nationals ballgame, and a tubing trip down the Potomac River. Janelia’s summer scholars program creates an outstanding research experience that serves to enrich the students' intellectual development as well as a summer of fun and exciting exploration of Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and the surrounding area.The program runs for 10 full weeks (with flexible start and end dates). Support: $4500 stipend, on-site housing, food, social activities and travel. http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/undergrad.html Application Deadline is January 7, 2016 The Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions (Baltimore, MD) (HHMI) The Summer Internship Program (SIP) at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions offers a unique opportunity to work for the summer in a research laboratory at one of the world's top-ranking scientific institutions.

The Johns Hopkins Immunology Training Program (ITP) offers a wide range of research opportunities including: T cell antigen recognition, the immunobiology of AIDS, the biochemistry of lymphocyte activation, molecular biology of lymphocyte development, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, tumor immunology, dendritic cell development and function, autoimmune disease mechanisms, antigen processing and presentation, innate adaptive immunity to infectious agents and mechanisms of immunologic tolerance.
Research initiatives: improving the health of women and children; identifying determinants of behavior and developing communication programs to promote healthy lifestyles; protecting our nation from bioterrorism; preventing and controlling AIDS; elucidating the causes and treatment for mental disorders; preventing chronic diseases (heart diseases, cancer, diabetes); improving the health of adolescents; preventing and treating substance abuse; assessing the effect of environmental toxins on human health; making water safe and available for the world’s population; assessing the health needs of disadvantaged populations (rural, urban, refugees, US ethnic groups); and developing methods to better understand, manage and finance health care. These research opportunities may take place in a laboratory, health department, clinic, office, or in a community setting.
Projects span a broad range of research, from the basic science of endothelial or epithelial cell biology to asthma epidemiology. Students interested in clinical medicine are given the opportunity to “round” with the Johns Hopkins Medicine residents, providing a glimpse of life in clinical medicine as a resident at an academic institution. Students are actively engaged in hands on independent research and fully participate in lab-based journal clubs and research conferences. Each division of the program sponsors a weekly journal club, during which they present primary research articles to their peers and members of the faculty. Students also attend a seminar series providing students with the opportunity to interact with faculty members and hear different perspectives on issues related to career development. At the end of the summer, the participants participate in the Annual Joint Poster Session hosted by the School of Medicine. This event serves as the culminating event for all of the summer research programs on campus and features poster presentations by approximately 150 summer researchers. Program benefits include: stipend ($3,000), on-campus housing, and a travel allowance. SIP selects participants based on academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to diversity.
